How to properly clean your face?

The skin is the first line of defense against external aggressors. Facial skin is not only the most exposed but also the most sensitive. It therefore logically requires more care. Even if you don't wear makeup, cleansing your skin in the evening remains essential, as pollution residue and other impurities can accumulate. Cleansing your skin in the morning is just as crucial, to remove excess sebum and ensure your comfort while protecting it from external aggressors.

The current health situation is also conducive to the more frequent appearance of imperfections, particularly blackheads, linked to wearing masks . This phenomenon even has a name: maskne!

Thoroughly cleansed morning and night using the right products, the skin will be re-oxygenated, purified, clearer, and healthier – and according to Laure, the founder of Ho Karan, who has battled PCOS and hormonal acne for years, healthy skin is sometimes worth more than perfect skin . So why deprive yourself?

To properly cleanse your face , there are certain techniques that work, regardless of your skin type.

Also called two-step cleaning. The double cleaning, even triple cleaning is one of the most effective and often overlooked skin cleansing techniques. And one of the most effective solutions for fight acne and regain healthy skin after summer !
First step : eliminate all fatty substances encrusted on the face at the end of the day (make-up, pollution, excess sebum, etc.) using a cleansing oil suitable for your skin type.
Second step : the so-called "aqueous" phase which consists of deep cleansing the skin thanks to a gel texture, more foamy in a micro-peeling way, to eliminate all residues and regain a real sensation of freshness and cleanliness.
Third step : complete your beauty routine, if necessary, with a moisturizing lotion for toned, plumped, hydrated and protected skin from external aggressions!

If the cleansing care must be well chosen, the gestures are just as important to maximize their effectiveness. Therefore, the circular and gentle movements are preferred for a gentle cleaning (and a relaxing time!). If you have combination, oily or blemish-prone skin, we recommend that you lightly emphasize the "T" zone, located on the forehead, nose and chin.
You can also combine accessories such as a konjac sponge or a face brush with your cleaning product. If you have sensitive and reactive skin, you are also advised to dry your face with a soft towel.

While the external conditions may be the same, not all skin types react in the same way. The reason is that some skin types are oily, combination, others dry, sensitive or even atopic.
Whatever your skin type, favor the natural care, formulated with non-aggressive active ingredients.
There are many popular products for facial care, such asmicellar water. However, if it has become popular, it is no longer the panacea for cleansing care! In question: a effectiveness questioned, coupled with a formulation that is sometimes far from natural which can even attack sensitive skin. Some products also do not require rinsing after use, which can be problematic if the composition contains synthetic ingredients which therefore stay on the skin for a long time.

As you know, at HO KARAN, we work every day to help you maintain or regain healthier skin by offering cosmetic treatments formulated with natural active ingredients. Among our latest products? Gender Fluid, Green Fizz , and Day Over, our cleansing trio for clear and purified skin.

This cleansing oil is enriched with CBD and a blend of three ultra-pure oils: hemp oil, grapeseed oil, and olive oil , to break down oil and impurities from pollution and makeup – and of course, it can be used on lips and eyes! The added bonus: leave it on your face for a few minutes, like a mask, so the antioxidant and nourishing CBD can infuse into your skin (discover all the benefits of CBD for the skin here ). When rinsed with water, Day Over transforms into a milky fluid! It's the first step to gently cleansed, regenerated, and protected skin.

Formulated with cannaflavins and vitamin C, Green Fizz is THE facial cleanser you need to rid your skin of all impurities after removing your makeup.

The final step for an optimal cleansing routine: Gender Fluid !
